"the pure men are for the pure women, and the pure women are for the pure men." [36.24]

A great talk on girlfriend/boyfriend relationships in Islam. seriously these are worth the watch, the speaker provides great info & perspective.







Worrrdd on the shaytaan not being very creative when it comes to this - but it's true...if it aint broke, don't fix it. I really like the escalator metaphor - it's true, once you're on it's way hard (and awkward) to get off. so my loves, save yourself the unnecessary exertion. Another point that he brought up that I've also seen in my own environment is that once you start disobeying Allah swt you aren't really happy...and at one point you'll be committing this sin just to get you back to the "normal" state and then you'll fall into depression and you do it again to get out. These homies aren't jumping up for joy. We have all seen that. Keep yourselves straight. & it's an ongoing struggle so don't get down if you think you're reading/hearing this too late - pray to Allah (swt) for strength and guidance.

Allah swt will never bless you in something that is haraam even if your eventual planned outcome is halal. so don't fool yourself. Starting today, make your actions so that they are worthy of your respective "Muhammad" or "Khadija" iA.

Assalmualaikum wa rahmat Allahi wa baraktu!

I don't know if you quoted the Qur'an in the quote, "The pure men are the pure women, and the pure women are for the pure men", however that's not in Surah 36, this website will show that.

the correct citation would be Qur'an 24:26
